More abortions took place in Jersey in 2024 than at any time since 2002, a report has found.
The Abortions Report found about 280 pregnancies were terminated in 2024 - up from 260 in 2023, and compared with 210 in 2002. The highest ever number of terminations was recorded among women aged between 25 and 29, the report said.
It also found Jersey's abortion ratio was the highest on record and above the EU average, with 390 terminations per 1,000 live births.
